Products liability refers to the liability of
any or all parties along the chain of manufacture of any product for
damage caused by that product. This includes the manufacturer of
component parts (at the top of the chain), an assembling
manufacturer, the wholesaler, and the retail store owner (at the
bottom of the chain). Products containing inherent defects that
cause harm to a consumer of the product, or someone to whom the
product was loaned, given, etc., are the subjects of products
liability suits. While products are generally thought of as tangible
personal property, products liability has stretched that definition
to include intangibles (gas), naturals (pets), real estate (house),
and writings (navigational charts).
Products liability claims can be based on negligence, strict
liability, or breach of warranty of fitness depending on the
jurisdiction within which the claim is based. Many states have
enacted comprehensive products liability statutes. These statutory
provisions can be very diverse such that the the United States
Department of Commerce has promulgated a Model Uniform Products
Liability Act (MUPLA) for voluntary use by the states. There is no
federal products liability law.
